Music Education Motivation Day (#musedmot) starts and finishes today. I’m excited to be a part of something so innovative. Catherine Dwinal (Catie) started the idea for this a number of months ago and today is the official launch of it. #musedmot has various topics that will be discussed during the day and you may find the official event information on Catie’s website: http://www.cdwinal.com/musicedmotivationday.htm

This “virtual event” utilizes a number of social media platforms and relies heavily on Twitter and Google Plus. In addition, a number of updates will be speckled throughout the day at the Music Teacher Facebook group.

I’ve listed the Schedule (for today, June 2, 2012 and posted in Eastern Times) from Catie’s site below and have also segmented it by Social Media Platform:
